About this episode
Tim Rowberry, who went from being a pace maker for the Nike Oregon Project to the coach of the unstoppable Sifan Hassan, joins us at 66:11 to discuss his coaching story and Sifan Hassan's amazing Olympic triple that culminated in Olympic marathon gold. Prior to that we discuss whether Grant Fisher has a ton of talent ( link ), debate whose career you'd rather have his or Donavan Braziers, and then ponder who would win at 600m Cole Hocker or Fred Kersley ( link here ). Grand Slam Track will launch in Jamaica in April. We break that down and discuss the mental side of running (book here ) before Rowbery joins us. Show notes below with links.
